The Auckland Urban Stream Survey – conducted by the Waterways Centre between April 8 and 9, 2024 – delivered high-resolution, high-fidelity terrain models to support Auckland Council’s Making Space for Water initiative. Waterways Centre used a bidirectional gridded acquisition flight plan using the VUX-240 sensor to capture LiDAR data of the Pakuranga Creek and Cockle Bay catchments as well as the eastern portion of the Whau catchment (Blockhouse Bay). A dense colourised 3D point cloud data was generated along with a push-button orthophotography at 0.1 m resolution.
